Following the license awarding in the state of Victoria, INTRALOT Australia Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of INTRALOT S.A., was granted a Foreign Games Permit to operate in Tasmania a variety of lottery and instant games. More precisely, the company will offer Keno 10/20/70, Cross & Match, Bingo, Pick3, Pick5 Heads or Tails and Instant Tickets. Operations are scheduled to begin shortly.
